This session will illustrate how to set up community partnerships using children, university students, and older adults to address three major health concerns across the lifespan: nutrition, physical activity, and obesity. Experiential activities will be incorporated to show how to motivate children, university students, and older adults; how to maintain compliance in programs; and how to be innovative in working with these populations.
